Just the title.

So, I’ve had this unusually great post brewing in my head for a few days. I had it pretty much completely written ~ you know, on the toilet, in the shower, before falling asleep at night… (I’m not the only one who does that, right?) and when I woke up this morning, all that was left in my sieve of a head was the title. I can’t even remember what it was about. Grrrrrr.

So, maybe you can help. I have a prize for anyone who stirs my memory enough to bring the post back.

The title is:

As If Mother-Guilt Weren’t Enough

but dudes, that’s all I’ve got. Help.

——————————————————————————–

It’s Mother-Talk blog book tour time again and TOP is participating. This book has a very important message. Check it out! But you would have anyway, right? Because you’re entering all of the contests over there every day right? Who doesn’t love free stuff? Not you.

Gratuitous cuteness:

For all of you who have subscribed to email updates here and at TOP (yay! there are lots of you! thanks!) please let me know how it’s working. The one comment I’ve had to date is that it would be nice if they were immediate instead of a cumulative post the next day. I don’t know what to do about that, other than to tell you to use Mozilla Thunderbird (free here) for your email and it has an RSS reader built right in so you’d get everything immediately (and all of your bazillion email addresses in one place is kind of nice too). You could also use bloglines or one of the gazillion other free RSS readers.

   As if mother-guilt weren’t enough, there’s guilt from so many other sources. In-laws. Neighbors and mom friends. The sibling or cousin who always seems to one-up you. Even (especially?) the media.

   lol Ummm trying to maintain Mommy and Pregnant Brain for one is enough for me, so I am no help at all.

   I have not entered contests being that I have contributed …. But darn it girl some of that stuff makes me want to create an alias!

   Rylan is growing up so fast!

   Guilt! Here’s a way to get over it … denial.

   I just read your review at TOP. I SO AGREE! Good word — competi-parenting. I used to be like that with my first baby. Thank God I snapped out of it … and I gotta tell ya … there is less guilt! M

   And I totally agree with the eating dinner together thing. It really makes a difference.

   “(I’m not the only one who does that, right?)”

   Nope, I do it all the time! Gorgeous photo!

   No, your not the only one. I’ve almost ran over hubby in my haste to document ideas on the computer. If I don’t write them down at that moment, they’re gone. I used to “talk out” my characters’ conversation; but once I did that in the grocery store, another customer heard me talking to myself, and ran away. . .fast. Hehe

   I LOVE that photo of Rylan!

   I hate when that happens - I think of things I want to post about all the time, and never write them down, then of course I don’t remember when I get to the computer!

   Wish I could help you out! Your title sounds like it was going to be a good post too!

   The only thing I can think of that is worse than mother-guilt is child-guilt. Anything stirring??
